WE received last night the Classification
and salary bill, which passed the Council.
and passed the House with very slight
changes. Hon. 10 Cave writes that it
will undoubtedly become law. We had
not time nor space to give the salaries
complete, of all classes Counties having
an assessed valuation Of $4,000 and un
der $1,000, 600 are fourth class. This puts
Boise county in said class. 1t appears
from the figures that the salaries of officers
in any certain class depend on the valu
sIion. That is, the salaries in counties OF
the fourth class, as an Instance, vary. with

The people of this place are unan-
imously opposed to the new school
bill. under which one-half OF the
school money will be divided equally
among all the districts, and the re-
naming one-half per capita. Under
the present law this district, with l5+
children of school age, counts as three
districts. Under the new bill il
counts as one. This district employs
two teachers, and necessarily at larger
salaries than the teachers of any OF
the other districts receive, for the
reason that the pupils in each depart
ment of the school of this district
outnumber those of any other district
The very least that could be done
with any show at all of right and JUS
tice. for districts with the number OF
school children this one has, would be
TO count them as two in the apportlon

MRS. DARLING'S WAR CLAIM.
The Decision i'm Her Fayor-s.quei To an
Episode of sS4.
New York World


WASHINGTON, June 6.-Friends of Mrs.
Flora Adams Darling are congratulating
that lady over the recent decision in her
case against the Government. Mrs.
Darling is the widow of Gen. Edward I.
Darling. who i'm 1864 was killed while
fighting in the war Of the rebellion. She
was a member Of the Adams family. of
Massachusetts, and when her husband.
who was "a Southerner, died she left
Dalton. Ga, for the home Of her father
in New England In her trunks when
she started were her jewelry and So, 900
in gold-bearing cotton bonds. She had
been assured that this property was. not
contraband of war, and that as she WIS
leaving the South permanently she
could safely take il with her.
Under flag of truce provided by Gen.
Banks, then commanding the Depart
ment of the Gulf. Mrs. Darling had reach
ed Mobile ON her way To Massao husetts
via New Orleans, when she was stricken
with malarial fever. Upon arriving at
New Orleans the flag-of-truce officer left
her ON board the vessel and taking her
passport went 10 report their arrival at
headquarters. While that officer was
absent a sergeant from the office of the
Provost t-Marshal-Gsnera come on board
arrested Mrs. Darling and seized her bag
gage. She was placed i'm prison, from
which she finally escaped. but would
not or could not leave the city without
the trunks containing her bonds and per
sonal Jewels. Later ON she succeeded in
getting possession of her trunks, but
found a casket which held her bonds and
jewelry missing. She was ordered 10
leave New Orleans for New York City,
which, after a stormy and disastrous
voyage. she reached.
A few weeks afterwards she went To
Washington and obtained am audience
with President Lincoln, who directed
her to reduce her story Ia writing and lac
would see that her wrong was righted.
But he was assassinated before any de-
cisive results had been attained. Mrs.
Darling then instituted her claim against
the Government, and has prosecuted IL
| with heroic persistency ever since. In
1885 the House judiciary Committee
sent the claim to the Court of Claims,
which now decides i'm her favor. Dur
ing the twenty-five years i'm which the
case has been pending in Congress and
the Court of Claims, four eminent law
yers who espoused her claim with un-
usual interest have died-R. j. Walker.

CONVENTION OF TYPOS.
Report OF Trustees On the Childs-Drexel
Fund Creates Enthusiasm.

fumd Creates Entnusl8Sm
BUFFALO, N. ", June Sat this
mornings session of International Typo
graphical Union Convention, McDaniels,
of indianapolis, offered resolution
which was adopted, that an inquiry be
at once made into the usefulness of the
officer known as Chief Organizer.
Ogden presented resolution, at the
request of Cincinnati Union, that nine
hours constitute days work, excepting
on morning and evening papers
Wilkins, of Boston, moved that a COM
mittee be appointed on the female cheap
labor. Adopted.
The most important business was the
adoption of a resolution indorsinS the
action of New York Union, No. 8, in
which it protested against the denuncia-
ton of the New York Sun by a
clique in the Knights of Labor. Dele
gates Kendlehoe and Hayzard, of New
York, protested against the resolution
being referred to a committee, and Sc
cured its immediate adoption. There is
a strong feeling in the convention in OPP
mere mention of the home club is a sig
nal for trouble. A preamble and resolu-
tions are prepared and will be presented
that no delegates be sent to the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
An effort will be made to have the
paper, but without the mandatory clause
compelling all union men to subscribe
for it.
At the afternoon session, ID. Z. Bayer,
of Ohio, was reelected Chief Organizer.
The reports of delegates in relation.to
the Childs-Drexel Fund show that the
printers entered into the matter with
great enthusiasm. Many who had left
the case to accept editorial positions
dropped their pehs for time and took
I'D the stick on Childs' birthday, and
s.set up one thousand ''ems" of type
and contributed it to the fund.
Among these mention may be made of
Col. Cockerill, of the New York World:
Amos j. Cummings, of the New York
Sun; John McVicar, managing editor of
the Detroit Erening Ne,cs, and a former
president of the International Typograph-
ical Union, who had not set type for
over seventeen years. A number employ
ing printers duplicated the amount of
their mployes-notably, Pulitzer, of the
New York World; Taylor, of the Boston
Globe: Geo. w. Childs, of the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger, and others. The re-
port of the Board of Trustees estimate
that the contributions to the fund on Mr..
Childs' birthday will probably reach
$1,000, in addition to 81 ,020 already con-
tributed on MIR. Drexel's birthday.

MURDEROUS FANATICISM.
n Baptism of Blood Follows the Baptism
of a Child.

PITTsBURX, PA, June S.-Frederick
Hermann. aged thirty-five years, em-
pIoyed as a helper in an iron mill, beat
his wife until he thought her dead Mon
day. and then killed his little daughter,
aged nineteen months, and then cut his
throat, severing the windpipe and
jugular veins.
Hermann, who had been married for
several years, is member of the Evan
gelical Church, and an intelligent, sober
man. His wife is a Catholic, hut on
matters of faith they have managed TO
agree until quite recently.
Mrs Hermann had made no objection
to the baptlzing of the two elder children
in the Evangelical Lutheran faith, but
she, a few weeks ago, determined to
have Lizzie, the baby, baptized into her
Church. She took the little one to a
priest about two weeks ago while the
father was at the mill and had the cere-
mony performed.
The father was ignorant of this until
to-day. when, while at work, one of his
friends told him of it.
When his work was done, at four
O'Clock. he went To his home, on Mount
Washington, opposite the city, and
called his wife to his side and made her
sit down on his knee. His manner was
more than usually affectiona,e until he
asked her if she had had Lizzie baptized
into the Catholic Church. His wife an
swered in the affirmative, when he told
her that it was now a question of the
death of one of them.
He rose and went toward the cupboard
for Q knife when Mrs. Hermann jumped
out of the window. He followed her
until she ran into the arms of neigh
Dor. who could not protect her, as her
husband came up and beat her on the
head with a brick until she became in
sensible.
He then returned to the house and
going to the second story bed room,
where Lizzie was sleeping in cradle,
took up a razor and cut her throat, al
most severing her head from the body.
killing the little one before she awoke.
The horrible deed accomplished, he
went to a window and, holding his head
outside, with the same razor cut his own
throat from ear to ear. \ neighbor, Jo-
seph Kesaner, ran to the house and was
let in by Hermann, who then laid down
| on the bed.
He cannot talk, as his windpipe is
severed, but, although bleeding, he has

| them he says he was deceived by his
wife. He also says he has forgiven her

Determined Not to Yield.

ST. PAUL, MINI, June S.-The twelve
hundred carpenters who are on strike
ROW for nine hours to constitute a day s
labor, held meetings last evening at
which they reiterated their determina-
tion to hold out until their demand is
acceded to. The contractors held a
meeting and passed a resolution fixing

ter work is concerned.
